Repository files navigation

modo

markdown todo cli interface is a small application to query markdown todos with a SQL-like syntax. This is my first project in rust and will be improved over time. Some parts may be implemented not ideal.

Usage

call modo with a path to a folder with markdown files (--path or -p) and the query (--query or -q). Empty path will use the current folder, empty query will display all todos.

Examples:

  • modo -p /User/phil/Notes -q 'done == false' All open todos in and below the given path.
  • modo All todos in and below the current folder.
  • modo -p TestingNotes -q 'path << work and heading == # customer' All todos in and below folder 'TestingNotes' where the path contains 'work' and the heading equals '# customer'.

Keybindings

  • j/k and arrow up/down for navigation in the todo list.
  • x toggles a todo done/open.
  • d shows todo details.
    • x toggle todo and returns to list.
    • any other key returns to list.
  • r refresh / reload.
  • q quits.

Filter Queries

All filters are case insentivite. Multiple filters can be used with "and" between them.

Syntax has to be: <todo-property> <operator> <value>

Properties

Filters always bear upon a single todo.

  • name entire line of the todo
  • filename file where the todo is located
  • path full path, including filename
  • heading first heading (line that starts with #) that is found above the todo
  • done if todo is marked as done

Operators

  • == equals
  • != does not equal
  • << contains
  • !< does not contain

Examples

  • done == false
  • path << customername and done == false
  • done == true and path !< Arbeit
  • done == false and heading == Daily
  • heading == Daily
  • path << work and path !< customer and done == false

Feature ideas

  • Ordering todos via query
  • Grouping and OR support for filters
  • Give feedback about query parts that are wrong
  • Shortcut to open the .md file a todo is in the systems set .md editor
  • Display options, specify what properties of the todo should be displayed
  • Option to edit the query in the app
